Great starter kit

This is a great starter kit - everything you need at a great price. My thoughts on each point: 1. The call is my favorite. It makes the classic "ringing" sound instead of the cheaper "ringing" that's commonly found these days. Easily attaches to bike.2. The flashlights charged quickly and lasted over a week when used for about half an hour each night. But be careful: the front light should be easy to remove so you don't have to remove the entire mounting tape to charge the light. While this is very convenient, it also means that the vibrations from mountain biking will easily turn off the lights (learned from experience). I added a strip of double sided tape between the light and the tape mount and it hasn't been a problem since. The water bottle holder is made from semi-rigid plastic, which is a good thing as it clamps your bottle tight, but it can also be expanded to accommodate wider bottles. It attaches to your bike with a clamp, which is good for frames that don't have drilled holes. The clamp didn't fit the thicker diagonal stem on my husband's bike, but it did fit the thinner vertical stem. I would recommend using this bottle cage for tarmac cycling as it tends to rotate easily. Part of the holder can be removed without removing the clip, which has its advantages and disadvantages.4. We've only used the phone holder on paved roads but so far so good. It works great with both Samsung S20 and iPhone 10. The bottom line is. If you want to start and get quality stuff without breaking the bank, this is the place for you! Nothing is perfect, but you can't beat the value.

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
